Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA)

Purpose

Provides grants to states, territories, and tribes to build their capacity to operate prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) in order to detect and prevent the diversion and abuse of pharmaceutically controlled substances, such as opioids, and other scheduled chemical products. Promotes safe and responsible prescribing practices and appropriate pain care by enhancing law enforcement and public health agencies' ability to collect and analyze prescription drug data through a centralized database.

Program consists of 2 grant categories:

Category 1: PDMP Implementation, Maintenance, and Enhancement Grants to help states, local governments, and tribes plan, implement, or enhance their PDMPs by accommodating local decision-making based on state laws and preferences

Category 1 funds may also be used to support the tracking of prescribing data across providers and states through integration of PDMPs with electronic health records (EHRs), pharmacy dispensing software (PDS) systems, health information exchanges (HIEs), federally operated and tribally operated healthcare facilities, Veteran's Administration operated healthcare facilities, and other systems.

Category 2: Data-Driven Response, Multistate Projects, or Advancement of PDMP Grants to develop and test innovative strategies, implement evidence-based approaches that demonstrate the impact of expanded use of PDMP data to support decision-making, or implement a multistate effort that can be replicated in other states

Additional information on goals, objectives, and deliverables in each category can be found in the funding announcement.
